The fileName is a non-standard property that contains the path of the file that raised this error. It is recommended to not use this property on production sites facing the web, as it may not work for every user. If called from the Firefox Developer Tools, “debugger eval code” is returned. This property is one of the parameters, which is passed during creating an error object.
Syntax:
errorObj.fileName
Property value: Path of the file containing code that raised this error.
Return Value: It returns a string, representing the path of the file containing code that raised this error.
